Masonic Tarzcrs —We have been favored with the of the « Washi Commandery of Knights Tem- plar,”* (a high order of Free .) eon- vened om the 11th instant, when the tribute of ct was paid to the memory the late David Hume, of Alexandria, in ac- cordance with the time-honored customs of the order : Sir B. B. French, eminent commarder, rose and said: Sir Knights: It has become my melan- eholy duty to announce to you officially the death of Sir David H an honored, re- — and beloved member of this comman- ery Oa the morning of Saturday, the 28th of February, while endeavoring. in forbearing, atient, and gentlemanly manner, as I ha’ 1 y faformed, to disabuse the miad of o who had accused him of committing a crime, from which, as we all know, bis very nature would revolt, and the accusation being again and again reiterated by his accuser, until Sir Knight Hume, deeming bis honesty and honor attacked beyond forbearance, resented the ipjastice done him by blows, and was imme- diately <bot dead by the isdividual who had accused him Thus fell our brother, friend, and compan- fonin the very meridian of his manhood and his usefulness, whilst Teampting to defend what every true Ly. Templar considers far precious than his life—his honor! It would be unnecessary for me, even were I sufficiently informed to do so, to pro- pounce a eulogy upon the high character and noble attributes of our deceased friend. ‘The thrill of horror which pervaded our whole community when the news of his violent and untimely death was made public, the imme- diate action of the citizens of Alexandria, abere he was best known and appreciatedy, the “good report” of him which was upon every tongue, and the sincere and beartfelt ief manifested by all who knew him, com- Ficea to form a eulogy to which any words of wine would be tame and insipid. That noble and manly form will appear no more amongst us, but it ehall live in our memories and our hearts as long as virtue and integrity and henor shall be regarded as the brightest and strongest human panoply in which man can be invested; for they were the distinguishing characteristics of him whose untimely death we lament Would that it had been in my power to a:- semble this commandery to pay the laat honors due toa worthy Knight Templar! Circum- stances beyord my control rendered it impos- sible, and I was compelled most relustantly to relicquish what I regarded as almost a duty Bat the Masonis fraternity of a siater j2ris- diction paid to his memory that outward re- 7 in which every knight of this comman- ery would have gladly participated had it been possible Sir G@.

Messrs Guy & Briggs are endeavoring, by overy means in their power, to ferret out the cause of the ix- salubrity ; and their opinion is, we believe, that it springs from the stenot-irops placed tner of Sixth street and Pennsylvania av: and which, instead of atlowing the eflluvia to pass off, throw it back upon the hotel. The report that the National was to be closed to-day, was incorrect; and ws learn that no decision to close it has beon arrived at as yet by the proprietors.

Epiror: This being my first visit to the National Metropolis, I determined t» visit all the places of amusement, and participate ia every enjoyment Washington afforded Having a great taste fur mechanical ingenui'y as well as a desire to view the inventions made and brought to this city from every section of the country by the ingenious and talented men of our laud, I have been a frequont vie- i‘or to the Fair of the Mechanics’ {nstitute. My first visits were made during the day, aud were spent in witnessing the grand display of articles of mechanical and artistic beauty, taste, and genius However, at the earnest solicitation of a friend, who. like myself, beicg an ardent admirer and passionate lover of mu- sic, I was induged to ationd the evening ex- hibitions. I accompanied him, and I assure you that I have not regretted it, for, like hundreds of other visitors who could be heard on all sides expressing their admiration, I confess frankly and with the greatest pleasure, that I have been moro than sufliciently repaid, and I do most sincerely congratulate the managers for the taste displayed in eelecting an orchestra composed of gentlemen whose extraordinary Mmaosical talent, together with their acocmmo- dating dispositions, have earned for them- selves a repatation which, { am told, is higher than bas ever been sttained by any other band of this city within the recollection of the o'dest citizens. I never before saw such en- thusiasm, and such a continuation of un- bounded applause, a3 was manifested on each aad every evening of their performarce.
